WRAPPING UP NATURE
This series features items from the natural world,
fruit, wood, vegetables, fish and flowers. Each item is
tightly wrapped in single use plastic packaging which
will long survive its bio degradable contents. This
manmade, often unnecessary plastic wraps around
each organic object causing damage and preventing
it from reentering natures cycle.
This series begins with a pile of oranges which sits on
an aptly named mandarin colour paper backdrop,
the oranges are covered in black plastic netting
stretched tightly trapping its contents, next to a fish
in vacuum packed suffocating clear plastic, followed
by a forest of Broccoli pieces individually wrapped in
thick plastic, next to a sack of wood with bright
orange weaved plastic entwined around it and finally
a bunch of Pink carnation flowers wrapped in
cellophane leaning on another fittingly named
Carnation pink paper backdrop.
